Write for paraWuIaas, MAID 0' THE WOODS By JOHN PHILIP ORTH Even the parents ot Mlas Lea Jen nings admitted that she was "notion al." The term signified that she took rather strange Ideas Into her head, and was rather obstinate In having her way about them. Miss Lea took a notion to learn por trait painting, and mado a failure of It. She turned to ceramics and did not secure any praise. She pottorod with stained glasB, but It was only pottering. She wrote poetry, but she alone shed tears over It. She turned to Btory-wrltlng, but the magazine people returned her efforts with tho usual printed regrets. Was thcro any thing ,that Miss Lea Jennings could do but wait for a marriage proposal from some eligible party? There was, and tho great wonder was that she hadn't thought of It soon er. She could become an actress or write a play for somo one already In the profession. It was touch and go for some time as to which she should do, but a theatrical manager finally induced her to decide on the play. She wouldn't have to rehearse, sit up nights, eat late suppers nor travel about, and tho famo would be Just as great. When MIbb Lea announced her scheme to her parents they made no opposition. If they had she would have decided Immediately to write two plays Instead of ono. Sho was Just three days getting a title for her play. The manager had suggested a play laid In the woods something primitive something with wolves nnd bears, and the nights so dark that a fox couldn't see a big Shanghai roost er two Inches from his nose. Society plnya, the manager said, where hus bands simply fell In love with chorus girls, and wives eloped with any old thing, were played out. What was wanted were thrills action howling winds and moaning birches, with plenty of dramatic situation to keep the audience entertained. Mips Lea announced that she was going to tho woods to get the local 'surroundings. Undo Joe lived up in the Adirondacks somewhere, and he had a shooting camp somewhere, and she would take her maid and become a denizen ,of tho wild for a month or six weeks. It was summer, but she could Im agine the snow and gales, and the wolves and bears could be brought In If they did not appear with their growls and howls. Uncle Joe was therefore uncovered and dusted off, and In due time ho located that shoot ing camp in the midst of mountain and forest and welcomed the playwright to the scenes of her labors. When she bad been supplied with enough flour, bacon, potatoes and coffee to last her a month he vanished and the play was begun. The plot of the play was to have a city maiden fall In love with the fam ily chauffeur, and her father lock her up In the cellar to let her forget the man she loved. The girl would make her escape from durance vile and walk and walk and walk until the city and Its table d'hote dinners were left be hind and the mountains and a log house reached. There she would write a postal card to her lover and send it down a mountain stream on a raft, where It would fall Into tbe hands of her father. He would start at onco to bring her back, but the chauffeur was to be reckoned with, in some way not yet figured out he was able to learn of the hut In the forest, and then it would be a race botween him and tbe parent, each In a sixty- horse auto, as to who should reach her first Mountains ravines streams dense forests precipices wild beasts sudden Jars and Jolts, and tbe chauf feur arrives Just ten seconds ahead of tho old man and starts a landslide which carries the other almost to his own doorstep and loaves him with a lame back. For the first week of her residence In tho woods Miss Lea was so busy with her plot that she scarcely wan dered ten feet from the door. At the beginning of tbe second week she went looking for a precipice. She felt that one ought to be worked Into the play somewhere and somehow. The head salesman in a gents' furnishing store at 918 per week might have kept his bump of location In that tangled district, but Miss Lea hadn't traveled a hundred rods before she was all turned around. When she realized this she was frightened and thought only ot pushing on In some direction. That day, from a club house three or four miles distant, Hall Kldgway, the sculptor, had set out with rod and line to fish a mountain brook. He had been at It for two hours, casting his line here and there, when the sound of a woman's voice calling for help caught his ear. It was from the bill sldo behind htm, and after making sure that be was not deceived he re plied to the calls and began a scram ble that ended only when the crest of the wooded and Jagged bill was reached. Every minute or two he had called out, and every minute or two the voice of a woman had answered to guide him. "Good heavens, but what are you do ing here!" This to Miss Lea Jennings, who sat on a rock wltb her bat gone, skirt in tatters, balr down and a look so tor lorn that a bear would have run away from her. i I am lost!" she sobbed in reply. "Lost? Loet from where)?" "From Unci Joe's place," "That log house at the head of the north trail?" "Y-yes." "And what the devil started you out alone In these wldls?" Mr. Rldgway was a sculptor, and he also chiseled out a swear word now' nnd then. "Sir!" demanded Miss tea as she roso to her feet. "You are from tho city. You thought It would be smart to galtvant through the woods alone. If I hadn't happened to hear your calls you might have wandered about for threo days. It's a wonder you haven't broken your neck. I'll take you to tho cabin, but you deserve- to pass one night In the woods to teach you a lesson." "I can find tho cabin by myself," retorted the girl, though rather mildly. "You can do nothing of the kind. Don't make matters worse by being Impertinent. Come on." "1 I think" "So do I! Give mo your hand. By thunder, but 1 come up here to fish, nnd senrcely catch ray first trout when a smart Aleck of a girl goes and gets lost nnd I must sacrifice 'hours to rescue her!" MIsb Lea tried to pull her hand nway. No uso! Sho hung back. The sculptor was tho stronger. They wore n full hour In reaching tho cabin. The girl gritted her teeth and was silent as they tolled along, but every two or threo minutes the man Indulged In a growl. At the door of the cabin Miss Lea trlpd to regain tnr lost dignity, but Mr. Rldgway smiled for tho first time and said: "Don't try It You look like a fright." A month later Miss Lea reached home. She said she nnd had a very good time, and she looked It She had been home a week when her father carelessly asked about the play. "I didn't finish It," was the reply. "But why? Weren't the environ ments all right?" "Excellont. One ot them will be here In a day or two to ask your con sent to our marriage. His name la Mr. Rldgway, and he Is a sculptor and a swearer. He says I'm flighty and. notional and need a strong band, and, so so I'm going to accept his." ' BUTLER MAKES ODD CLOCK Man 8ponda Seven Years on Time Piece Composed of Brads, a Beer Tap and Other Things. An English butler by the name of Jamea Glbba has made a curious clock out of an astonishing collection of odds and ends. He designed It him self and spent his spare moments for about seven years In constructing It "In addition to showing the time ot day and the seconds," he says, "It also shows the daya of the week, days of the month and month of the year and the phases of the moon, besides striking tbe hours and half hours. "Tbe wheels were all originally ot wood, but last summer I changed some of them for others made with sheet brass. The axles are all skew ers and the bearings are the eyes cut from brass hinges and let Into the wooden frame. "Bootmakers' brads, are used In making divisions In the daya of the week, etc., the hammer It atrikes with Is part of a beer tap, and tbe pendulum, cut from an old chest ot drawers, swings on a steel spring ob tained from a woman'a corset. Tbe dates themselves are taken from an almnnac. "Tbe large hands and Roman fig ures are carved on oak and the min utes around the dial pieces of matches. The case Is made of oak with tho exception of tbe panels, which are walnut I bought It In the rough plank and worked It with the few tools I got for the purpose. "I am a butler and have been In service all my life and know nothing of clock or cabinet making, so you can realize what an enormous amount of patience and perseverance has been required. The clock is a perfect timekeeper and everything Is In thor ough working order." Strand Maga zine. Good New Zealand Law. There Is now a noxious weed act In New Zealand which Imposes a flno up to $100 on any persons who knowingly sow, sell or offer for sale any noxious seeds. All grass seeds are required before sowing to be thoroughly dress ed by means of. seed cleaning ma chines or other sufficient processes for the purpose of removing all noxious seeds. All farmers are required un der penalty of fines to clean thorough ly any thrashing machines, clover dressers or chaff cuttera Immediate ly after being used. After these ma chines have been swept the second dressing riddles must be removed and cleaned, tbe screen opened, the side below the grain elevator taken out and all rubbish removed. Children and the Stage, Blanche Bates, the actress, says that If one must choose between sending a child to the- factory or the stage, choose tbe stage by all means. How ever, she thinks the work is very hard for a child, making trains, traveling by night and ao on, and she would not have children on the stag unless they mutt tarn bread for the family. HOW INDIANS MADE HISTORY Truth of Their Tradltlone Instances! by One 8tory From Annala of the Bsavere. If wo could only get at the facta of the history of our Indian tribes, It would bo of interest to compare these with what Is related as the fortune1 of most civilized nations. It Is only In tradition that the history of the In dian lives, and only one version of the story Is ever henrd. Sometimes this Is so true to naturo that no room for doubt can bo found. Such Is the following chapter, from tho annals of the Heavers, a Canadian trlbo. , Ono day it young chief shot his ar row through a dog belonging to nnoth er bravo. The brave revenged tho death of his dog, and Instantly a hun dred bows were drawn. Ere night bad fallen sotno eighty warriors lay. dead around the camp, tho plno woods rang with the lamentations of tho' women: tho tribe had lost Us brav est men. Tliero was a temporary truce. The friends of the chief whose arrow had killed tho dog ct numbered some Blxty pcoplo, nnd It was agreed that they should sepeiirnte from the tribe and seek their fortune In the vast wilderness lying to tho south. In tho night they begun their march; sullenly their brethren saw them depart, never to return. They went their way to the shores of the Lesser Slave Lake, toward tho great plains which were said to bo far southward, by the banks of the swift rolling Saskatchewan. Tho trlbo of the Heavers never saw this exiled band again, but a hundred years Inter a Ucuver Indian, who fol lowed tho fortunes of a whlto fur hunter, found himself In one of tho 'forts of tho Saskatchewan. Strange Indians were enmped about the palis ades; they wero members of the great Blackfoot tribe, whoso hunting 'grounds lay south of tho Saskatche wan. Among them wero n few braves iwho, when they conversed, spoko a language different from that of the others; In this language tho Heaver Indian recognized his own tongue. Har per'B Weekly. Jury Duty a Godsend. While many men seek to escape Jury duty there are others who uro anxious to serve, snyB tho New Yoik Evening Sun. Recently Commissioner Allison received the following letter: "I most earnestly beg you to placo my name on tho Jury every year in stead of every second year as here tofore, and to let me serve as often ns permissible by law and compatible with the requirements of your depart ment. Strange as this requeBt may seem. I will regard it as an act of charity to have It granted. Having had to retire from business and from all necustomed busy and active life by order of doctors, my days have de generated Into a dreary series or walks and reading, so that the least break in it, even that of Jury duty, that I formerly regarded as a hard ship, would bo welcomed. I will hall It as a godsend, ns a temporary break In the unbearable monotony." Another man, anxious to serve, wroto to tho commissioner: "Some people hate to do Jury duty, but I love it. I have not served in this city, and as I am not over busy at this time of tho year It would please me greatly if you would be jclnd enough to have mo on a Jury. I am qualified to serve." Belgyawsky's Comet. There Is timeliness in the appear Knee of that newest heavenly visitor, Belgyawsky's comet. It appeared with iho war ,a conflict that seems to mark (he serious wounding ot Turkish ?rlde, If not the appearance of a great urklsh misfortune. When the Turks took Constantinople a great comet blazed In the sky, and the terrified Christian world added to 'the Ave Ma fia the supplication, "Deliver us, O Lord, from the devil, the Turk and jhe comet." The superstitious may readily perceive In the relative un importance and dimness of tho latest flyer of this description a portion ot Mahometan woe. The scientific as pect of tho star Is not particularly notable. It appears to be one whose return need hardly bo looked for, find which in all probability was nevet Bpled by our grandslres.

TIME The event deecrlbed belongs to the laat years of the exile, D. C. MS, whan llabylon was taken by Cyrua sad his generals. The decree ot return, and the flrat re turn, occurred a year or two later. PLACE-Babylon the capital, enlarged, beautified and fortified by Nebuohadnaav. Under tho great Nebuchadnezzar Babylon roso in grandeur, power and extent, till It beenmo the most mag nificent and beautiful city of anti quity. In thoso daya Babylon was the metropolis of tho world, tho center of commerce art and wisdom. The wealth of tho world poured into Ita coffers. Babylon waa tho strongest fortress In all tho world. Bolshazzar was tho acting king of Babylon at the time of thlB lesson, whllo his father Nabonldus was tho nominal nnd legal king who lived and warrod outsldo ot tho city. Cyrus had boon advancing toward Babylon. Ho gained a dcclslvo victory ovor NabonldtiB, on his way to the capital, and his army onterod tho city without fighting, and pcaco waB pro claimed. A portion of the city, prob ably tho citadel including tho royal palaco, hold out for some time, being occupied by tho army ot Bolshazzar as a rallying place. Two or threo weeks later Cyrus made his triumphal entry Into tho city. Seven days later, tho general ot Cyrus stormed that part of Babylon which had held out against his army, and on that night Bolshazzar waa slain. It was during this wook that Belshazzer made a magnificent banquot to encourago his generals and princes in their struggle with tho Medo-Perslan foe. At his fenst, therefore, Bclshazzar Bought to remind his warriors ot the old campaigns their forefathers had fought Ho had In his possession the treasures which theso forefathors had carried from Jerusalem when they conquered Israel and, as It aoomed to them, Israel's Jehovah. IIIb conduct thus was not meroly that of a drunk en debauchee, but partly of a cool politician, when amid the, applause of a thousand courtiers and army com manders he ordered the sacrod ves aels of tho Temple of Jerusalem to be brought into the hall ot feasting. Such a scene would fill the hearts of the wine-inflamed warriors and nobles to overflowing with daring, and also bring a worthy occasion for the di vine Interference to encourage hli people on the eve ot their deliver ance. ! In the midst of the carousal, the ping aaw the fingers ot a man's hand writing atrango words, "letters ot fate and characters of fear," on the wall In the full blaze of tho candlestick, perhaps the great golden candlestlok taken from the temple. There la something blood-curdling in the visi bility of but a part of the hand and Its busy writing. Belsbazzar, in his terror and horror, summoned his wise men to declare what the strange apparition and the blazing letters meant, and promised great rewards to the one who should Interpret them; but all failed. Either they could not make sense of the let ten, or could not perceive what mean ing they had. Then the queen mother, mother ot Belsbazzar, came In and spoke of Daniel as one who had shown great gifts at Interpretation to his grandfa ther Nebuchadnezzar. It took place before this boy king was born, and he, naturally, knew nothing about the story. Daniel was sent for, and came Into the festival hall. He heard the king's offer, and spurning It, spoke brave and true words which might easily cost him bis life. He told the story of Nebuchadnezzar's fall from the height of pride, and accused him of dishonoring the true God. Then he Interpreted the message written on tbe palace walls: "Thou art weighed In tbe balances and found wanting." Tbe want of religious restraints and motives, exposes one undefended to the powers of temptation. Belsbazzar would enrich the splendor of his feast by the sacred goblets and dishes ot gold that Nebuchadnezzar bad taken from the temple at Jerusalem. They were brought, and made to be Instru ments for drunken revelry and lust, and worship of Idols, thus declaring that the idols had given them the Ylo tory over the God of the Jews. The social power of the wine cap, Its connection with feasting, comrade ship, hospitality, good cheer, Is one of Ita most dangerous attractions. And one of the chief defences against its power lies in showing that good cheer, fellowship, sociability, eating together, may be enjoyed In tho highest degree where men "eat and drink and In communion sweet quaff Immortality and Joy," without the fascination of the wine cup. ' Bolshazzar lost bis city and his king dom.
